Detailing 542 known trades made by the Habs since joining the NHL as a founding member in 1917. Since many deals involved minor league players that often went unreported, especially in the early years, this project is ongoing:

June 14, 2014 - Louis Leblanc traded to Anaheim Ducks for conditional 5th round pick (TBD - Anaheim) in 2015. Condition was on Leblanc playing 15 games for Anaheim in 2014-15 which he failed to do, so the 5th round pick reverted to Anaheim.

IF BOTH conditions were met and the Canadiens 5th round pick in 2012 was unavailable, it would become a 4th round pick in 2013.
